Blake's 7 reimagined. Part 18. "As they say on Earth... Servalan can walk and chew gum at the same time."
Scene: On board the Scorpio. Dayna, Tarrant, Dorian and Soolin are present.
Slave: I estimate, um, 103 hours until we orbit Hagley, masters.
Dorian: Thank you Slave.
(pause)
Tarrant: Do you have to treat the ship's computer like a human being?
Dorian: It makes things easier.
Tarrant: Not for me it doesn't.
(Dorian sighs)
Dayna: Dorian, how difficult is it to be you?
Dorian: Given my unique situation, I would much prefer to be alone.
Tarrant: I think we all prefer you to be alone.
Soolin: (Unenthusiastic) Huzzah.
(Tarrant looks over at Soolin, then looks aside, then looks back to Dorian)
Tarrant: Sorry Dorian.
Dorian: (smiles) Heh. I do appreciate the attempt. Not many get used to working here.
Dayna: How many people have you worked with? How many people have crewed the Scorpio over the years?
Dorian: Three hundred and two.
(Dayna and Tarrant look at each other in surprise)
Tarrant: (to Dorian) And where are they now?
Dorian: Most of them? I don't know. Some have died of course. Some have died of old age.
Tarrant: Any memorable crew members?
Dorian: Well they're all memorable. (smiles) And of course you three are very memorable.
Dayna: (sneers) I wish we weren't.
Soolin: (Quietly) Huzzah.
Dayna: (annoyed) Thanks Soo. Sorry Dor.
Dorian: Dor? I haven't heard that affectation for a while. Only one person called me that.
Tarrant: Was he or she memorable?
Dorian: Pepysie we called him. Tall, blond. Played the drums when he wasn't busy.
Tarrant: Do you know what happened to him?
Dorian: He died. He was on leave at his homeworld. They found him in his garden, lying in some turnips he had planted. He bled to death. But there wasn't any wound on him. It was bizarre. I think Internal Security was too busy doing other things so they left it unsolved.
Dayna: Typical.
Ginka: Madam, you asked me to inform you if anything changed.
Servalan: Yes Ginka, what is it?
Ginka: We have reports that some high ranking rebels from Hagley have been in contact with the Liberator.
(Ginka hands a few sheets of paper to Servalan. She quickly reads them)
Servalan: (sits back) Of course. I should have realised.
Ginka: Is there anything I can do, madam?
Servalan: Where is Declan at the moment?
Ginka: He is on the moon. With his wife.
Servalan: Ah yes, his anniversary. Ginka.
Ginka: Madam?
Servalan: There is a ship carrying weapons to the planet Hagley.
Ginka: The Liberator?
Servalan: I doubt it. Blake is expanding his network of influence. Somehow he is able to source weapons and then transport them to rebels on Federation worlds.
Ginka: Do you want me to investigate this potential incident?
Servalan: Ideally we need to intercept this ship and either destroy it or capture it. It would be a transport ship, the sort that smugglers use.
Ginka: We could blockade Hagley. Stop anything going in.
Servalan: No. That would raise suspicion. If we blockade the planet the smugglers will simply deliver it to another rebel group. Besides, the President is likely to overrule me.
Ginka: I need to point out that with Declan gone, Madam, I have limited authority to do anything about this matter.
Servalan: (nods) Yes. I'll get a temporary proxy for you. Meanwhile, get to work.
Ginka: With pleasure madam.
Jenna: (to Blake) That message you got. Anything you can share?
Blake: (looking annoyed). Varna is dead.
Avon: Who's Varna?
Blake: The Hagley rebel we negotiated weapons with back on Carrick. She was killed "accidentally" while leaving Carrick.
Jenna: Does that mean the deal has fallen through?
Blake: No. But it does mean that Federation Internal Security is involved somehow.
Avon: You know this how?
Blake: Secret messages, Avon. Federation rebels usually have a sophisticated way of communicating with one another.
Jenna: Should we recall the Scorpio?
Blake: Not at present. I'm certain that Dorian will do what he sees best.
(Cally enters)
Blake: (to Cally) Varna is dead.
Cally: (angry) Shit.
Blake: What's your assessment of the Scorpio crew? Do you think they can continue their mission?
Cally: One way or another, yes. They're all quite competent. (sighs) How did she die?
Blake: Shipping container was dropped on her.
Cally: (shakes head) Not very subtle.
Blake: Not subtle at all, which means we're not necessarily dealing with the top people.
Cally: It'll eventually reach Servalan.
Blake: Let's just hope she's too busy trying to set up defence procurement contracts.
Avon: As they say on Earth, Blake, Servalan can walk and chew gum at the same time.
Blake: (turns to Cally quietly) Should we activate Declan?
Cally: (softly) To do what, exactly? He's not a slave.
Blake: Just as a way of gaining information.
Cally: We agreed that Declan was a fail-safe. We can't turn him into a spy. And remember too that he's trapped against his will.
Blake: I know.
Avon: (Loudly) Have you finished whispering over there? Anything we need to know?
Jenna: WE... would certainly like to know anything important, Blake.
Blake: (puts hands up in conciliation) Nothing that needs your approval. Yet.
Avon: Well we all know how much we like secrecy.
(Vila walks in)
Vila: What secrets?
Everybody else: Nothing.

I know it’s important for the calendar etc but couldn’t come at a worse time I recently found some rep grails on weidian and Xianyu and really need them for the winter season. Anyone else wish they would maybe just take a day off to keep things moving in the rep industry.

2025.01.24 09:51 Annual_Somewhere_116 fuel price CNG and Petrol
hello im a tourist planning to visit armenia in February I was wondering where can i get a reliable source for fuel prices in armenia since im visiting armenia with my own car which uses Unleaded (95 octane) petrol and also CNG so i was wondering what the prices of these two would be. + Also is the price of fuel (any kind petrol, diesel, ...) different in every gas station or is there 1 price in the whole country ? + is there a card or a permit i need to apply for before i get into the country so i can use the gas stations ? Or not + do gas stations take cash or is it only card? (if they are card only what is the most common card i can use ?)

2025.01.24 09:51 ukmercenary Question - Service Desk and Phishing emails
I have recently started at an MSP and it's a bit unorganised to be honest. In the past when ive worked 2nd line in corporate companies we would have a process to follow. I.e reset the users password and run a virus scan or shut down the laotop as it could be a virus/malware or ransomeware.
I wasn't sure what I was suppose to do the 1st line helpdesk had already reset the password. In the past we would just pass these into the insec team or security manager.
What would be the standard process an MSP should follow?

2025.01.24 09:51 Either-Living6071 Kaoru Takime is transmigrated into a fallen clan in Kirigakure, but he possesses a powerful dojutsu—the Suijingan.
I’m a newbie author, and this is my first fanfic. The story currently has 30+ chapters and starts at a slower pace as Kaoru explores his mysterious powers and adjusts to his new life. While Kaoru is the focus, this isn’t just his story - It’s about the world around him. Expect a mix of canon and original characters, humor, bloody battles, clan-building, and political intrigue between the hidden villages.
Kaoru isn’t overpowered from the start, His growth is gradual and earned. He’s not hero type, instead he is flawed, cautious, and pragmatic. But he’ll develop meaningful bonds, and some might mean enough for him to risk his life. Romance may come later, but only if it happens naturally—there will be no harem.
The story dives into the darker, grittier side of the Naruto world while introducing new elements and exploring places beyond canon. Kaoru won’t prioritize preserving the timeline, so expect unique twists and surprises.
If you’re looking for action, humor, emotional depth, and a fresh take on Naruto’s world, this might be the story for you. I’d love to hear your feedback and hope you enjoy the journey! ❤️

The burndown chart is shown above. What should the team do next? Options: A. Ask the product owner if some low-priority stories could be cut from the sprint. B. Continue with the sprint as the progress shows buffers for potential interruptions. C. Ask the project team to select any additional stories as they have additional capacity than planned. D. Continue with the sprint work as planned and keep monitoring. Knowledge Area: Agile Practices – Sprint Monitoring and Control Answer: The correct answer is D: Continue with the sprint work as planned and keep monitoring. Explanation: The burndown chart in the image shows that the actual progress (green line) closely follows the planned progress (red line). There is no significant deviation to suggest an immediate need for intervention. The team is on track to complete the work within the sprint timeframe, so the best course of action is to continue as planned while monitoring progress.

2025.01.24 09:51 One_Egg_1137 Profitably: The trader's holy grail
Unlike others, I am here to share with you some of my observations on profitability. Most of us think and say to ourselves, "If I can just master that strategy, or watch that YouTuber guru, or just join his Discord, I'll be profitable." We know that it never ends the way we planned. Now what do? Quit? Far from it. You and I have worked so hard to let the good money slip away.
So we are going to come up with a plan and steps, and here they are : 1 . FINANCIAL STABILITY. 2 . GOOD HEALTH & BETTER CHOICE IN LIFESTYLE 3. BACK UP: SURVIVE THE LOSING SPEAR 4 . CONTROL YOUR GREED AND FEARS
Now let's dive in :
Financial stability
Right now, I am assuming that you have some income besides trading; if you don't; stop right now! Go find a job or some kind of hustle. There is a quote, I like on Tradingview that says:" The market does not care about your position " and I can tell you that, it neither cares if you have enough to pay your rent. Don't approach the market hoping for a quick fix your financial situation needs to be your priority.
Hope doesn't work in trading: you'll lose money, and get more trouble. I know it sounds cliche but having a safety net makes things easier, you won't be reacting out of fear or expecting a miracle when the market goes against you. Please save some money; sometimes it does get really bad out here. Don't let anyone foul you, if you don't put your finances in order you won't make it even if you have the best strategy in the world.
2 . Good health & better lifestyle:
You probably wonder what good health and a better lifestyle have to do with this: well, 1 being healthy has no price. And it helps with high performance. Eat well, and exercise. If you don't have a gym membership walk and sweat it is crucial. A better lifestyle unfortunately means letting go of other habits : You can't be partying every day, you will miss out on opportunities, and you need to be aware of the state of the market :( Pre_ market and aftermarket) You need to know how the market performs every day and the other thing is the simpler your life the easier it is to save money, then pump it into your brokerage account. ( a minimalist lifestyle is something I would recommend, but to go to the extreme)
3 Back up survive the losing spear
My advice is always to have a specific number you are comfortable trading with. ! This number is not written in stone, it will and should change as you grow.
What is that number then?
Here is an easy formula I came up with: Ntd*$*Ntm*2= HEALTHY-METER
The number of trades a day × the amount of money you are risking by opening a position * 30 days number of days in a month -if you trade every day- × 2 this number has always to be =<2. To illustrate what am talking about, Here is an example:
Let's say we going to risk 10$ on each trade, then it will be 2 (number of trades a day )×10$ ( money to open a position)×30 number of days in a month × 2 at least this will keep in the game:
10×2×30×2 = 1200$ .This is a healthy way of doing things.
4 control your greed and fear
As soon as the money in your brokerage account is above the HEALTHTY-METER, take the extra money and invest it elsewhere, this way you have something aside.
"I always say the market is one big Money lender, it does not discriminate whether you are smart, white, female, male, confused, or black. It will loan you some money, and it will ask for a repayment - with interest if you are careless -sooner or later. So it is what you do with the loan that matters: it will determine if you going to be with us here for a long time or not "
One more example: let's use the 1200 $ as capital and the market has been good to you and gave you an extra 600 $. And, the total is now 1800 $ Most people won't withdraw any money, and this is one of the greatest mistakes traders make. The solution is to withdraw the 600$ and split it into 200 $ for when money is needed in your account and 400$ is your profit you need to deposit this money in your bank account and beef up your safety net or invest it in a safer vehicle like real state or cigarettes vending machine where you know that no matter what people have to pay rent or smoke. One more thing you can not measure your profitability with 1 trade you need to have a series of trades to see how good you are. Fear: fear of trading comes from 2 places: not having a safety net and not being able the accept and anticipate the risk.
